Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
In light of the pain that you are experiencing in the limb, it is possible that there is infection of the underlying soft tissue. This is called cellulitis. Cellulitis is normally associated with swelling, increased redness, pain and increased warmth of the area.
You may want to consider visiting a doctor for an assessment. This would include physical assessment.
Antibiotics may be needed.
I hope this helps
